DUTCH BAKERY & DINER REVIEWS

I recently visited the Dutch Bakery and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the pastries were absolutely delicious. What truly made my visit exceptional was the outstanding service from Diana. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. Diana's welcoming smile and professionalism added a special touch to my visit. I highly recommend the Dutch Bakery for anyone looking for a delightful treat and superb service.

Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable staff members. Extremely delicious pastries, chocolates and food. This is a family run business that has being around for along time. They also make Cakes for Weddings too, they made my daughter's a few years back now and it was amazing and looked beautiful. If you haven't try this Bakery yet your missing out, stop by and pick yourself up a Bakery treat or maybe have a bite in their restaurant, you can order yourself one of their special Bakery treats in the restaurant after. You eat you won't regret it!

It was such an amazing dutch experience we had! We went for a brunch, and we ordered an omelet and sausage and egg breakfast. The omelet could be cooked better. We also really wanted to try the bakery, so we ordered a mocha log cake. It was ok. Our server Della was very friendly and nice.

CRUST BAKERY REVIEWS

Nestled in the heart of the city, this bakery is a hidden gem for coffee addicts and pastry enthusiasts alike. From the moment you step in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and oven-fresh breads welcomes you. The display is a feast for the eyes, with an array of tantalizing pastries and breads that beckon you to indulge. The coffees are expertly crafted. The breads, with their crisp crusts and soft interiors, are simply divine. The place is cute with few seats. Amazing customer service, The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations. Absolutely love there whole wheat sourdough, raspberry lychee pastry and cappuccino.

Absolutely amazing!!! There was a line to get in but it was so worth it. The server recommended me their best seller, the Raspberry, Lychee & Rosewater Pastry, and it was out of this world!!!!! I also bought their chocolate croissant and donut and honestly everything was so good. You can't go wrong in this place.

Line-up was out the door for this place, and rightfully so. Food here was delicious. We got a falafel wrap to-go, but we definitely would have gotten the dessert if I thought it would have travelled well.

ROYAL BAY BAKERY REVIEWS

A gem of a bakery! This is a smallish bakery in a great location. They have a huge selection of cookies and pastries to choose from. Their bacon breakfast sandwich tasted so good and the sausage roll was excellent. The service was vey fast and friendly. We'll definitely come back.

Royal Bay bakery is amazing! The baked goods are always fresh and delicious, and they always have an amazing variety of both sweet and savory options! You can easily find something in your budget, or even a special splurge, and I have never tried something there I have regretted! I highly recommend the cheese bread, sausage rolls, or the birds' nest cookies! Love this bakery so much!

Love their bread and small cookies (6 for 3 dollars). Also always nice soups and sandwiches for lunch.
